President Ilham Aliyev has attended the opening of a bread-baking plant in Barda.

It was noted that the “Garabag” bread-baking plant has been built in accordance with the latest standards in the center of Barda. Its construction is part of the state program on the socioeconomic development of districts. The National Fund on Entrepreneurship Support has allocated a soft loan of 2.7 million manats for the plant worth 4 million manats. The bakery, built according to the “State program on the socioeconomic development of districts in 2009-2013”, meets the latest standards. Its construction began in February 2011.

There are photo stands in the lobby of the enterprise reflecting the support of nationwide leader Heydar Aliyev and President Ilham Aliyev for private enterprise development in the country.

The head of state watched a film about the plant.

It was indicated that another loan of 680 million manats was allocated by the National Fund on Entrepreneurship Support to create a resource base of the plant. A site for wheat, a grain storage facility with a capacity of 10,000 tons and a mill with a daily production capacity of 70 tons have also been built.
